sometimes its very difficult to bleed.

i use a ton of fluid, its easier. just open the bleeder and hook a tube up to it. pump the pedal a bunch until fluid squirts out. then reach up and pump the slave piston by hand until a bunch of fluid squirts out. then close the valve and do the normal pump/open thing. even then you might have to reach up and pump the slave by hand again.

its just a pain in the ass to bleed. air gets trapped somewhere weird. if your master is bad, it'll typically leak.
